EVANS, No. 430 Chestnut Street, PHILADELPHIA, PA, No Connection with N. Y. Gift Book Stores. (CARD.) SINCE I originated the Gift Book Enterprise, I have repeatedly called the attention us the public to my large stock and liberal offers, to which they have always warmly responded. I can now’, with more satisfaction than ever, call attention to my largely increased inducements to purchasers. Being very heavily engaged in publishing, I exchange my own publications for those of other publishers, and am enabled to procure all my books at the original cost of making, and thus can supply the majority of the other houses engaged in the book trade, with their books cheaper than they can procure them from the publishers. I can also, by my heavy purchases of watches and jewelry, furnish dealers at lower rates than they can buy them from the manufacturers. Having such an advantage in buying, I can assure to my customers better gifts with their books than any other house, and can give to my agents a larger commission. A valuable gilt will be delivered with each book at the time of sale.' Gifts worth SSOO, at the loicest -wholesale prices, W’ill be impartially distributed with every SI,OOO worth of books sold.
